Vote for The Harbinger, please!

I am honored to have one of my books chosen as a nominee in BigAl's Books & Pals (review site) Readers' Choice Awards in the fantasy category. They've chosen the fourth book in The 13th Floor series, THE HARBINGER. From all the reviews and emails I've gotten, this is by far the favorite of my readers' too.

In the twelve months ending February 28th, 2014, BigAl and the Pals will have received over 1,400 books to consider for review and published 368 book reviews. From those, they chose the books they felt stood out from the pack as exceptional examples of indie (self-published and small press) writing and divided them into thirteen categories.

Now here's where I need your help. To win, I need your votes. Voting starts today at 10:00 a.m. EST and goes through to the 12th. I'll be reminding you throughout the next ten days.

BigAl's Books & Pals is a huge supporter of indie authors. A great place to get your books reviewed. I'm eager to find out who all the nominees are.

Please go vote for THE HARBINGER.

Friday Five for February 28th, 2014

1. I did a happy dance on Wednesday after I unchained myself from my desk. I finished the 3rd draft of my superhero WIP. Woo-hoo! I sent it off to my CPs and betas. Then I celebrated with peanut butter cookies. On Monday, I will start revising WIP #1 again. I'm right on track with my writing goals so far this year.

2. It's been a tiring week. I've been babysitting every day. It only reminds me I no longer have the energy of my youth. I just wish the youths understood that!

3. My husband was sick on the weekend, and with stuffed up nose, he snores more than usual. So I spent two nights on the couch. I love my couch. It's amazingly comfy, but it always gives me weird dreams. One dream had 5 good versions of myself fighting 5 bad versions. Not clones. (I don't have access to Alex's cloning machine!) It was more like a spirit battle. It was unsettling. Thankfully when I'm sleeping in the bed, I only fight monsters and not myself, er, my selves.

4. I've been reading a lot lately, and I realized I have a favorite bookmark. Until recently, I didn't care what I marked my pages with. A lot of the time it was just a strip of paper ripped from a recycled scrap. Now I have to have a certain one. Do you have a favorite bookmark?

5. I got some BIG news this week: the 4th book in the 13th Floor series, THE HARBINGER, has been nominated for a BigAl's Books & Pals Readers' Choice Award in the category of Fantasy. I'm honored and excited. Voting starts on March 2nd and runs through to the 12th. Please consider voting for my book. I'll share my cookies with you!
